Overcast skies today, with a helpful ripple pushed from the W and pressure sitting still. The productive water at Silt Lake will be around inflow corners and shaded margins. Expect the better fishing from the day. Give the likely spots time before moving. The pre-winter feed makes autumn days generous.

Silt Lake belongs to Manitoba. The bank is 736 metres above sea level. Around 19 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. About 2.2 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Our Manitoba list holds plenty of bigger water. For a base, Swan River sits 45 km out. It is 318 km to Regina, the nearest city. No border sits close enough to matter.
The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. At Silt Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Fish tight to whatever breaks the bottom's flatness.
July runs about 16°C on average, January about -19°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about early November in an average year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. The season on Silt Lake rarely departs from it.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Frenchy Lake is 0.7 km off. For Silt Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
